Martin Zubimendi linked to Real Madrid amid Arsenal transfer speculation

Reports indicate a conflict regarding the future of Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi, as Real Madrid expresses renewed interest in the Spanish international. Following a decrease in playing time under Mikel Arteta, some reports suggest Zubimendi may wish to leave the Emirates Stadium to join the Spanish side, especially as Real Madrid seeks midfield reinforcements after failing to secure Rodri.

Arsenal's stance remains divided in reporting. While some sources claim the player prefers to move rather than remain on the bench, others state that Mikel Arteta considers Zubimendi a fundamental piece of his project and has publicly ruled out a transfer. Arsenal is reportedly willing to negotiate if a significant offer is made, with a valuation cited around €75m, but the club is not actively looking to sell the player who joined them last summer for approximately €65m.
